Generally permitted
Leonardo permits commercial use, but the ownership position differs between free and paid usage, so plan status matters if you need stronger control over the asset.
Commercial-use rule
Paid subscribers are told they retain full ownership rights in generated images; free users receive a commercial-use licence while Leonardo retains broader rights in free-tier creations.
Plan and ownership details
Commercial use is possible on both free and paid tiers, but paid usage provides materially stronger ownership/control according to Leonardo’s current pricing and terms pages.
